Pros & Cons

Pros

The screen is matte and anti-glare which is great because it can be a bother if the screen was a crystal screen you know, slippery and light reflecting in your eyes. The new x3 pen here is a highlight. I'm a graphic designer/illustrator and i wanted t...  Read More

Xp-pen artist 12 2nd gen tablet is excellent quality and value. It is better than their older tablets but the issue still remains to a certain extent. Yes wacom is still the number one for a reason, but xp pen is the next best option in my opinion.

The cords slide into the ports smoothly and securely. I love how slim the tablet is and how you can connect it with a single usb-c cable.

The pen tip to cursor has basically 0 lag / difference, and it feels just like drawing on paper. The drawback to using a lower end tablet is in things like line straightness. It has a sensitivity that allows me to sketch very lightly when i want to, s...  Read More

The screen feels so nice to glide the pen on. The * have a nice tactile response. It also has a shortcut button on the side of the pen.



Cons

The display goes to sleep and doesn't show up on my 2017 mbp as a display. Also it comes un-calibrated all the time. The cursor moves on the monitor it's mirroring, but does not show on the actual tablet. It's unfortunate that the tablet seems to have...  Read More

There’s a replaceable screen protector that draws like paper with the pen. It has no pen holder/ nib container thing. This is a deal breaker for me.

Quality


I’ve been drawing for 8+ years and i have to say this is the best tablet i have used the quality is just so good definitely recommend


The pen works really great and the 13” is perfect screen size.


Sad to see the dwindling support of a function that is second nature on any real brush.


It recognized it was connected with the pen, but no display i believe due to the power output.

Price


This worked perfectly with a basic usb-c cable from amazon basics for $10 for my chromebook and samsung s9.


An absolutely amazing tablet, it came with so many extras that many would have to spend an extra $500 for- such as adapters, hd...  Read More


For the price good luck beating it (at this time).


I had the great fortune to notice the 16 inch version was at a greater sale, so i got that one for her and kept the 12.

Shipping


I ordered the 12in 2nd gen, his and got a refurbished huion kamvas 13.

Competitiveness


I tried it to finish some photos, for me it's no more convenient than a regular tablet like deco series from the same vendor, b...  Read More


I've tried reaching out to xp pen but haven't had success since i bought it from amazon.


Configuring hot keys in the xp pen driver was not as pleasant as it could be, or at least compared to the big name tablet.


There have been zero issues with the "other big name brand" tablet while simultaneously using the xp.
